This book was fun and funny and a great read for some solid relaxing crochet time. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys flawed main characters who actually recognize their problems and work on them. If you enjoyed other books by this author I’m confident this one will be close to the top of your list.
The main conflict and resolution was particularly refreshing. There was no miscommunication, more a reconciliation of old conflicts. The two characters both worked on their end of things and came together as adults who wanted the relationship to work. Very refreshing!!
This book as some spice, but I would say it’s pretty tame. The characters face misogyny and other concerning behaviors from outside characters, but it’s not the center of the story, and both characters work together to address it (also refreshing).

it brought up a lot (for me as well i’m sure it did for others too) who have been in relationships (romantic and otherwise) where they make themselves what they think others want them to be until we can’t tell who we are and what we want apart from who we pretend to be.
i hate insta love and miscommunication trope usually but jack’s unrequited love for elsie throughout the book had me in a choke hold, it didn’t feel cheesy it just felt right. the miscommunication was done well enough that it didn’t feel dumb as they usually are, there was some genuine reason behind it, that no one would have realised in that situation.
i also loved sole aroace rep, it’s the one of the most forgotten about members of the lgbtq+ community and even though there wasn’t much about it, because it wasn’t the main characters, i think it was handled really beautifully, not overly-dramatised or glossed over.
